"I don’t know how long he has to play to be one of the greatest that’s ever played this game," La Russa said.
Tony the Red is talking about Albert Pujols. He does not know how long Albert Pujols will have to play to be one of the greatest ever. The same Albert Pujols who is already — at only age 30*! — the 34th best position player of all time. And Tony — who has managed Albert for his entire career, mind you — doesn’t know how long it’s going to take for Pujols to become an all-time great.
Genius!

Remember this post from two weeks ago where Jeff Passan was all like "how long can Rich Harden stay healthy?" and I was all "zero" and we all laughed?
The game is mine, internet. Now, bonus comedy:
"We have to make sure that this doesn’t get worse," manager Ron Washington said. "He’s such a valuable asset."
James Richard Harden, 2010: 74.1 IP, 1.9 HR/9, 6.1 BB/9, 7.7 K/9, 80 ERA+, 5.82 xFIP, -0.2 WAR
How are you defining "valuable," Ron Washington?
